    Which car have you always had a secret hankering for??
    Doesn't need to make sense or be explainable. Just your everyday cars that most people wouldn't look at or think twice about.


    This is mine, always wanted one for some reason.

    That Aston is my favourite Bond car!

    For me it has to be the Mercedes W124 500SEL.

    When I was growing up it was the best car on the roads. Love the size, looks, engine and interior. Would love one a two tone one in black and grey. IMO they epitomised the quality the Mercedes was once famous for.


    Also love the R129 SL600. Something nice for the weekend!

    An MG X80, (did they ever build them?)

    I was going to say a 306 convertible but I thought it better not to mention my secret for fear of ridicule....
